Kanchan Mishra

Kanchan Mishra is a postdoctoral researcher in the Terrestrial Sedimentology Group at the University of Tübingen, working within the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Department of Geosciences. She is based at the Geo- and Environmental Research Center (GUZ) in Tübingen, Germany, with her office located in Room 2U37 at Schnarrenbergstr. 94-96.

Dr. Mishra specializes in employing remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) to study Earth surface dynamics at spatiotemporal scales. Her research initially focused on understanding fluvial systems and processes aided by space technology, and has expanded to include aeolian settings. Currently, her work centers on the application of remote sensing and GIS to study the morphological variability of Aeolian landscapes and the relationship between morphological features and climate systems on different spatial and temporal scales.

Her publication record reveals a strong focus on Himalayan river systems, particularly the Kosi and Ganga Rivers, with research spanning sediment dynamics, flood risk assessment, sustainable silt management, and hydro-geomorphological approaches to river management. She has published in leading journals including Journal of Quaternary Science, Frontiers in Environmental Science, Sustainability, and Geomorphology, demonstrating both the breadth and depth of her research contributions.

Dr. Mishra has secured significant research funding through the Program for the Promotion of Junior Researchers (2023-2025), a 32,220 € grant from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science as part of the Excellence Strategy of the German Federal and State Governments.

Her collaborative research network spans internationally, with publications involving researchers from India, Australia, and Germany, reflecting the global relevance of her work in understanding Earth surface processes and environmental change across diverse geographical contexts.
